Calibrating the Compass

The Electronic Compass must be calibrated outdoors when you ﬁrst use the Rino 130 and

after new batteries have been installed. The accuracy of the Electronic Compass is adversely

affected if the unit is not held level or is held near items that generate magnetic ﬁelds, such as

cars, large belt buckles, etc.

To Calibrate the Electronic Compass:

1. Use the PAGE button to access the Navigation Page.

2. Use the

THUMB STICK to highlight the Option Menu on-screen button and press IN.

3. Highlight the ‘Calibrate Compass’ option and press the

THUMB STICK IN.

4. Press the

THUMB STICK to activate the ‘Start’ button and then follow on-screen directions

for holding and turning the unit. Hold the unit level when calibrating the compass.

The unit displays a “Just Right”, “Too Fast” or “Too Slow” message for you to adjust your

turning speed as needed. The “Calibration Successful” message displays when ﬁnished. If

a “Calibration Failed” message displays, repeat the process.

When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you manually turn it On again.

Sometimes, however, when you turn the Compass On, the Rino 130 overrides the Compass and

uses the GPS receiver to track your heading. The criteria for switching between the Compass

and the GPS is customized on the Heading Setup Page (see section Heading Setup Page).

Turning the Compass On and Off

• Press and hold the ZOOM (Z) button. A message appears on the screen indicating that the

compass has been turned on or off. OR

• Press the

PAGE button to access the Main Menu. Select ‘Setup’ and then ‘System’. Turn

the compass on and off through the System Setup Page (see section
